LOS ANGELES (AP) — The ‘‘Terminator’’ is coming back.

Paramount announced Thursday that it is rebooting the ‘‘Terminator’’ franchise and planning for a new trilogy of films, but it’s keeping mum on whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would play a role.

Schwarzenegger starred as the title character in the original 1984 movie. It spawned a trilogy that earned more than $1 billion at the box office worldwide.
